Expression of S6kSTDETE.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4VGlut-OK371 partially rescues the reduction in bouton size at the neuromuscular junction which is seen in Pdk133 larvae. In addition, the number of boutons at the neuromuscular junction is increased compared to wild type.

The decrease in bouton size which is seen at the neuromuscular junction in S6kl-1/Df(3L)CH18 third instar larvae is rescued by expression of S6kSTDETE.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 and the boutons are actually increased in size compared to wild type in the rescued animals.

The reduced active zone number and reduced reduced total synaptic area seen at the neuromuscular junction of S6kl-1/Df(3L)CH18 third instar larvae is also rescued by expression of S6kSTDETE.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 (the numbers are actually increased in size compared to wild type in the rescued animals).
